Miscellaneous
Good Old Boys 1979
Well, I've been kicked out of might near every bar in town
I've been locked up in jail for going 120 through town
I've been shot at and cut with a knife, for messing around with another man's wife
But other than that we ain't nothing but good old boys
I threw my boss out the window and got fired from my last job
Hot-wired a city truck and turned it over in the mayor's yard
I beat my brother-in-law half to death, lost 20 bucks on a football bet
But other than that we ain't nothing but good old boys
Just good old boys we're all the same ain't no way we'll ever change
Mean no harm by the things we do, or the trouble that we got into
Other than a wild hair once in a while, we can't help it if it's just our style
And good old boys is all we'll ever be
I got an alimony payment that's six week's over due
Got caught with a truckload of out of state booze
I hocked my wife's diamond rings last June, bought me an outboard Evanrude
But other than that we ain't nothing but good old boys
Just good old boys we're all the same ain't no way we'll ever change
Mean no harm by the things we do, or the trouble that we got into
Other than a wild hair once in a while, we can't help it if it's just our style
And good old boys is all we'll ever be
